The information requested by the Deputy for the years 2012 and 2013 is provided in the tables attached. My Department is currently finalising the processing of decisions on applications for 2014 and the information will be provided to the Deputy as soon as it is complete.

National Lottery applications are received by my Department from a range of community and voluntary organisations involved in various health related activities. The relevant Unit in my Department liaises with the appropriate personnel in the Health Service Executive to assess each individual application and consider whether the application should be recommended for funding. When the assessment has been completed and a recommendation has been made, I review each application and prioritise them according to their merits before awarding National Lottery funding. All organisations who apply to my Department for National Lottery funding are notified of my decision.
